Larry King Takes Talkshow to Russia’s RT Channel

Larry King Takes Talkshow to Russia’s RT Channel
Former CNN yakker Larry King is to host a political talkshow on Russian-owned global TV news channel RT from next month.
The RT show, “Politics with Larry King,” will be produced by Ora TV. RT will also air “Larry King Now,” which was launched on Hulu and Ora TV in July 2012.
The shows will be recorded at RT’s studios in Washington, D.C., and Ora TV’s studios in Los Angeles. RT America will be the exclusive U.S. broadcaster for both programs. “Larry King Now” will continue to stream online at Hulu.com and Ora.tv, and will also be available online on rt.com.
“I have always been passionate about government and issues that impact the public, and I’m thrilled at the opportunity to talk politics with some of the most influential people in Washington and around the country,” King said in a statement.
King said he would not shy away from controversy.
“I have interviewed every U.S. president since Nixon, and lest people forget, I helped usher Ross Perot into the national conversation during the 1992 presidential contest. I appreciate the importance of providing a platform to those with real alternative visions for our country’s future,” he said.
